Fees and Accounts

Private Health Insurance

Depending on your level of cover with your health fund, an out of pocket balance may occur. A staff member from our Administration team will be in touch with you before your planned admission to advise of any out-of-pocket expenses. All estimated out-of-pocket expenses are payable on admission.

Self Insured Patients

Self insured patients are required to pay the estimated hospital account prior to admission. To obtain a self insured estimate please contact our admissions team on (02) 6555 1330. You will need to provide the following information:

Patient's name

Patient's date of birth

Expected date of surgery

Surgeon's name

Expected length of stay

CMBS Item Numbers (these can be obtained from your Surgeon)

Department of Veterans' Affairs

Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) patients will have their account directly sent to the DVA for payment. See Veterans / DVA for information about DVA services at Forster Private Hospital.

Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation patients need to ensure their admission has been approved by the appropriate insurance company prior to admission, and a copy of your approval has been provided to the hospital.

Other Charges

After you leave hospital, you may receive bills for other charges incurred during your stay that are not the responsibility of the hospital. They are therefore charged separately, and may include fees relating to:

Your treating Doctor

Pathology

Radiology/Xrays

Pharmacy

Payment Methods

We accept cash, Mastercard, Visa or EFTPOS. Please note that all credit card transactions will incur a 0.5% surcharge.
